However, in a fully assembled calorimeter, the half-sectors are located on the surface of a horizontal cylinder in different positions relative to the vertical. In this paper, the effect of rotation of half-sector on calibration coefficients is presented for both experimental data and simulations.

This new contribution to the production amplitude is small compared to the conventional diffractive amplitude, but because of large impact parameters inherent to the ultra-peripheral Coulomb mechanism its impact on the slope in the transfer momenta distribution is substantial. We predict appreciable and strongly energy dependent increase of the slope in the vector meson distribution towards very small momentum transfer.The magnitude of the effect is proportional to the mean radius squared of the vector meson and is within the reach of high precision photoproduction experiments, which gives a unique experimental handle on the size of vector meson.</p>","PeriodicalId":729,"journal":{"name":"Physics of Particles and Nuclei","volume":"57 5","pages":"1137 - 1140"},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2026-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148965381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
